While combing my content sources this morning, I happened on I Date White, Chronicles of a Black Man dating White Women.

First, I want to say just how much I admire Eathen for having the courage to share such personal experiences with the world.

This happens to be one of those “issues” I’m ignorant to, but am completely captivated by and will be looking forward to learning through the personal experiences of Eathen.

While I have my own solid preferences when it comes to interracial relationships, that’s just saying it’s not right for me – but for those who can withstand the harsh realities of the world, I say more power to them.

Ladies, before you go falling in love with those rock hard pecks on the hunk at the bar, you might want to consider he might just be slathering on a little secret to make those pecks appear to be more desirable then they really are!

It’s true!  Men are slapping on a layer or two of hemorrhoid treatment to make those pecks look leaner and younger then they really are!  Can you even believe it?

First it was men stuffing socks in their pants to make it seem as though they were packing more then they really are – honestly, I never did understand that.  I mean, seriously, am I the ONLY woman on the planet that didn’t check to see if a mans zipper was puckered?

I always believed the sock stuffers were out to make other men feel, well, less manly by showing off a major bulge.

Do women really care about tight pecks or major zipper bulge or am I really that weird?

When I was growing up, it seemed like the perfect age for people to settle down was 25.  The older I got, the more that age and opinion changed.  While my opinion has changed, I still believe there is a magic number that people should shoot for as far as striving to achieve a certain level of maturity.  Maybe not so much to settle down, get married and have children – but to reach a level of maturity where they can take full responsibility for their own lives.

There are several people I know who are 30 plus years old, can’t balance a checkbook – can’t figure out why they are always overdrawn, have credit collectors calling day and night and are living paycheck to paycheck.

What do you think?  Is there a magic age by which people should be “ready” to settle down if the opportunity arises?

Did you know that over 50 percent of all couples met while out running errands?  They weren’t dressed to impress, they weren’t expecting to find “the one” that day – it just happened.

Devine Caroline explores random, everyday ways in which women might just meet Mr. Right.

We’ve all heard about the tales about meeting Mr. Right at the gym or by introductions, but what about those really off-the-wall ways?

What are some of the most intriguing ways you’ve heard of happy couples meeting?

Inspire us with your stories!  I’d love to hear.

I’ve always known that all men have an eye for an attractive women, but when the guy ogles darned near every women he passes and makes his significant other feel inferior to some degree – there’s a problem.

There’s a huge difference between casually admiring beauty and rubbernecking to the point of disrespect.

What men fail to realize, and ladies correct me if I’m wrong, is that when a man has a roving-eye for women it makes us women feel as though we are continuously competing for our partner’s attention. And while the most confident of women can handle a little competition and humorous exchanges surrounding the ogling, it does get old – and quick.

I know men will be men and they are visual creatures – but even I like to have my man treat me as though I’m the only woman in the world.

Men should really learn how to observe respectfully and keep their mouth shut if they wish to hang on to a woman.

If the woman said she wants a man who is honest – she didn’t mean to this degree! Seriously!

Via Christian Carter – Men are different from women.  You need to accept this fact, and deal with it.  When a woman sees a man, she can very quickly pick apart certain things about his style, body language, status and character that will tell her all kinds of things about him.  Lot’s of women don’t even consciously see that they do this because the process is so obvious and simple for them.

As you probably already know, men are generally more visual.   They often don’t understand non-verbal communication as well as women. Men often lack what women have in emotional awareness and “intuition”.  Women don’t seem to remember this about men.  So do men feel sexually attracted to women based just on looks? Or is something else going on?  Well, after studying this topic for years now, and talking to thousands of men and women, Christian claims that men have their “attraction mechanisms” triggered by things OTHER than looks.  Especially when it comes to longer term relationships.  Looks just happen to be the most obvious way…

Perhaps it’s the assumed ability of summing up a man’s character that get’s so many women in trouble.

In fact, my cousin and I were just discussing this very thing a couple of days ago.  There are times when our minds, as women, just never seem to stop working!  We ALWAYS have something going on inside our heads.  And so when our husbands seem to be zoned out in thought, naturally we ask them what they are thinking.

It’s very difficult for us to accept “nothing” as an answer, but in reality, they really are thinking about NOTHING!

I still say that if any woman or group of women out there can crack this particular secret in men, they will be set for generations to come.

As for me, I’ll just resolve to the fact that I just don’t “get” men and likely never will.

I’d rather be shopping!
